Mario, after becoming a Koopa Zombie

After the populace of Brooklyn are exposed to the Koopa trash dumped by King Koopa and the Koopalings, they transform into Koopa Zombies and proceed to aimlessly wander the streets. When King Koopa learns about the hidden power of the Koopa trash, he proceeds to attack New York City and orders the zombies to go after Luigi and Mario and attack them.

After being chased through the city, Mario starts the process of mutating into a Koopa Zombie himself. While King Koopa starts to load up his Crud Cannon with more garbage to mutate the rest of the city's human populace into Koopa Zombies, Mario and Luigi scurry to build their Trash Smasher, a vehicle capable of recycling all forms of garbage and undoing the Koopa trash's effects of turning humans into Koopa Zombies. Before Koopa can mutate the entire human race in the Real World and just after Mario finishes transforming into a Koopa Zombie, Luigi uses the Trash Smasher to clean the Koopas' garbage, and Luigi turns Mario and the other humans to their original selves. After this, Mario and Luigi modify the Trash Smasher to make it capable of flight, and chase the Doom Ship away.
